Module Description:
This module will allow students to build on their existing knowledge of what constitutes
‘community’ – for example, communities ‘of interest’ as well as geographically-based
communities. Students will analyse how communities develop, exploring the part which
community practitioners may play in that process. Students will be encouraged to consider
examples of development, change, cohesion and conflict within a community of which they
are a member. The module will also give students a general introduction to the study of
community development as an academic subject area, in beginning to investigate theories
related to community development. In particular, political and philosophical concepts
underpinning community development will be explored.

Module Description:
This module aims to cover a variety of complex issues relating to the safeguarding of
children and young people. Students will explore the concept of child protection and what
constitutes abuse. They will look at the importance of multi-disciplinary team working and
their role within the safeguarding process. Students will also develop methods, techniques
and processes relating to how to deal with safeguarding issues, including skills of listening to
and communicating with children and young people. A number of complex and challenging
topics will be critically discussed including children’s rights, confidentiality, consent and
refusal of treatment. The role of CAMHS and mental health issues will be explored and an
understanding the complexities surrounding sexual health and young people with regard to
safeguarding will be developed. Students will develop an understanding of internet safety
looking at ways to help parents to keep their children safe as well as helping the children
themselves. The importance of empowering children and young people to keep themselves
safe will be an important component of this module.
